At least that's the case this season and from the looks of things in Austin, it will be a while before Texas reaches the top tier again. I hope the same doesn't go for Notre Dame, I look forward to Brian Kelly and his squad doing big things in the future. As for Texas, they've got some foundation work to do.
By The Numbers:
Notre Dame's (8-5) Schedule featured:
-9 Teams that made it to a bowl game / 4 Losses - 3 Wins & 2 TBD.
-2 Teams with no bowls / Purdue (4-8), Western Michigan (7-6)
-1 Team with NCAA Sanctions, USC (8-5)
Texas' (5-7) Schedule featured:
-7 Teams that made it to a bowl game / 3 Wins - 3 Losses & 1 TBD
-5 Teams with no bowls / Rice (4-8), Wyoming (3-9), UCLA (4-8), Iowa State (5-7), Florida Atlantic (4-8)
The truth is in the numbers, as is the norm Notre Dame had a stronger schedule and after a slow but competitive start they picked up steam in October, fizzled out, then suffered a Quarterback loss when Dayne Crist's season ended with knee injury. Freshman, Tommy Rees stepped in and Notre Dame went undefeated in November earning them a bowl invitation.
Notre Dame 33 - Miami 17
